Rumor/Speculation: Why not Art Briles?

Because he's attached to the repressed hypocritical teetotalers of Waco and their ilk.

Baylor is his dream job, just like being a janitor at Channel 62 was Stanley Spadowski's dream, even though Stanley's talent transcended mere janitorial duties.

Who wants to drink from the fire hose?!?!?

 
Briles passed on UT last year and has a 10 year contract paying him over 4 million a year. Even if he wanted to come to NU his buy out would be a deal breaker.

 
I had respected Sam Ponder prior to the Gameday segment with Briles, I think she is an intelligent reporter and not just a pretty face, but after she said the following, I doubled down on my respect for her.

“What I’d always liked about Art Briles before is he seemed like a straight shooter, in all my time with him. I respected that. But in this interview, I didn’t think he was a straight shooter,” she said. “He did not say what he was sorry for. How can you accept an apology from someone if they don’t say what they did?

“There’s a huge difference between saying, ‘I was in charge and I didn’t know what happened and didn’t do anything, because I didn’t know what happened,’ and ‘I was in charge, I was told, I knew about the accusations and didn’t do anything.’ I don’t know which it is yet, and he hasn’t owned up specifically. I don’t know how you hire a guy or accept the apology of a guy who hasn’t told you why he’s apologizing.”

While Herbstreit gave Briles the benefit of the doubt, she said it like it is and while unfortunately was right, she had a good read and didn't take a politically correct stance like some did and others would as well.
